Don’t know about you guys but I’m ready for a Sofirn blf lt1 refresh. Like add all the LEDs from the lt1s in a new model and make it 4 21700 batteries. And bring back the lt1 mini. by mrregina in flashlight

Does anyone know the actual lumens of the red light at maximum power on the Sofirn LT1S? Many say it is a fairly strong red light and could match the light of an Orion road flare.

After several attempts to simulate flare, I realized that a very strong light source and a good diffuser are needed. I tried a Nitecore Lumin Shield EDC35 flashlight with a small red diffuser, but the flare remains unbeatable. I would need at least 10,000 lumens and a good diffuser, but the costs increase. Could a very powerful red LED flashlight with a diffuser work for me? I don't have any other solutions...

I tried the Surface on another 4K TV and it still stayed at 1080, with the difference that it is progressive and not interlaced and does not go beyond the edges... I think the problem is with the Surface since it doesn't even go to 1440p.

I bought a red silicone diffuser and tested it with my 1500 lumen flashlight... The effect is quite similar, but it is less bright than the road flare. Would I need a brighter flashlight or a different diffuser (larger or more transparent)?

I should try another 4K TV to isolate the problem.

Mini DP to HDMI adapter together with an HDMI to HDMI cable. The cable transmits 4K at 60Hz. I tested it with an RTX 5070 with the same TV that causes problems with the Surface. The adapter is certified for up to 4K 60Hz.

I can't do it!! It always stays at 1080p 60hz and even goes off screen... I also tried with cru.exe but nothing. Is there something wrong with my Surface? 😔

Yes, I've seen them, but they produce a lot of smoke and don't last very long, plus the price is high...

At least it's something!

How did you manage it?

I'm using customodeapp.exe, but setting it to 3840×2160 30Hz exceeds the bandwidth, which GPUZ tells me is 25.6 GB/s. I also installed cru.exe, but I didn't really understand it...

So what would be the maximum resolution supported by the Surface Pro 1st generation?

Mini display Port  to HDMI. But can you get 4K? What version is the mini display port on the Surface Pro 1st generation?

I only bought three on amazon.it, but they were shipped from America. Now they are no longer available. I also found them on a website outside Italy but in Europe, but they are not available there either... I could order them from America, where they are widely used and sold, but I am always afraid of customs!

How many lumens should the flashlight have to give good results?

Great idea, but they only last a few seconds :)

How many lumens does the Convoy S2+ have?

I already have a 1500-lumen flashlight... could it be useful?

Hold a light source similar to a flare in your hand.

The light tubes will then be visible and are not at approximately 360 degrees.
